Abstract
A coil collecting apparatus including a coin container defining a receiver housing. The housing is designed to receive a coin box taken from a parking meter or vending apparatus, and the box defines a closure which opens when the box is received in the housing and rotated. The housing defines a passage adapted to register with the coin box opening upon such rotation whereby the coins in the box can be discharged into the coin container. A cover is provided for the receiver housing, and the cover carries a coin box engaging head which engages the box when it is located in the housing and when the cover has been closed. A rotatable cover handle is provided for rotating the head and the engaged box. A locking bar is operatively connected to the cover, and this bar interfits with a blocking sleeve located within the receiver housing to hold the blocking sleeve in blocking position when the cover is open and until the cover is closed.
